Welcome to the STAR project webpage

This is your gateway to accessing the outputs of the STrategy for Allied Radioecology (STAR) network of excellence (NoE) funded under the European Commission EURATOM programmeFor other on-line radiation protection and radioecological resources please go to the Radioecology Exchange

STAR will INFLUENCE the course of radiocology by:

APPROACHINGour science in a new, integrated way.

ADDRESSINGcomplex research priorities that only a consortium of partners can accomplish.

INFLUENCINGthe future direction of research via a long term strategic research agenda.

STAR will OFFSET the decline of radioecology by:

INSPIRINGthe interest of youth to participate in our science.

EDUCATINGstakeholders about the value of our science.

INTEGRATINGnine organisations from eight countries, taking advantage of our diverse cultures, approaches, locations, expertise and interests. The integration will support the radioecological needs of industry, national authorities, non-governmental organisations, scientists, and the public.

The STAR project has seven interlinked work packages.A vital role of STAR is to develop a transition plan towards sustainability and long term funding for radioecological research, infrastructure and training and education. This requires a permanent management structure which will continue after the STAR (and COMET) projects finish. This is provided by (the Radioecology Alliance) and Information on membership is available here.

The STAR project final dissemination event was held in beautiful Aix-en-Provence, 9-11 June 2015

The event presented the results of the 4.5 year research programme and discussed with the wider community the continued integration of radioecology with other radiation protection disciplines. The programme was be a mix of presentations, discussions, debates, posters, interactive demonstrations and social events.

Protection frameworks for wildlife – advancing the underlying science through integrated research
